You want to set the rear shock pre-load so that you have 50/50 spacing on the control rods with you sitting on it. If you are a heavier person, then the bumper will sit higher [with no one sitting on it] than if the suspension were to be set up for a lighter person. In other words the unladen bumper height will vary depending on the weight of the person it has been set up for.
